Welcome to the McGill CIHR Training in
Drug Development Program
The
McGill University Faculties of
Medicine (Departments of
Medicine,
Cell Biology and
Pharmacology &
Therapeutics) and Science
(Department of Chemistry) and the
McGill University Health Center (MUHC)
have joined forces to initiate a
new multidisciplinary Drug
Development Training Program (DDTP).
While our understanding of many
diseases has been profoundly altered
by the identification of new genes,
the ultimate benefit of these
discoveries lies in their
translation into diagnostic tools
and useful therapeutics. The long
term goal of this comprehensive
training program is to prepare
independent scientists and
clinician-scientists in a range of
disciplines that are confronted with
the modern challenges of drug
development.
